Well, they get new stuff, precisely because.....they don't have new stuff! I mean, as they don't have new attraction (they will, but not before two years) they must absolutely do something new for each season to compensate the lack of new attractions. Starting 2011 it will be different as the first new land will be built.

Disney seems to be going for the all American look for their Christmas decoration in Disney HK. Having the people dressed in White I am not sure about, since this is usually not a good color for Chinese symbolically (black is beginning, white is ending, and red for energy).
